Answer:
900 sample size
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the sample size for a proportion, the margin of error formula is used to determine this:


Where p is the proportion, E is the margin of error, n is the sample size, q = 1 - p,
is the z score.
Since the proportion is not known, the sample size needed to guarantee the confidence interval and error is at p = 0.5 and q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5
E = 5% = 0.05,
= 3. Hence:

Answer:
About 6 athletes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are concerned only with the percent of athletes that are above one standard deviation.
Between one standard deviation and two standard deviations, there is 13.6% of the athletes.
From 2 to 3, there is 2.1%. Above 3, there is 0.2%.
The sum of those percentages is 15.9% of 40 = 0.159 · 40 = 6.36 or about 6 athletes.
Hope this helps.
